He destroyed his country, maybe they want him to destroy the UN as well?

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Dozens of American citizens, including several rabbis and congressional candidate Brad Lander, were detained by Israeli forces for helping Palestinian farmers during the annual olive harvest. This year's harvest has been marred by widespread violence against farmers and journalists.

These voters said they corrected their selections before casting their ballots. In Madison County, WBBJ reported that the local NAACP and other community organizations received multiple complaints about machines changing voters’ selections.

BREAKING: TENNESSEE VOTING MACHINES ARE FLIPPING BLUE VOTES TO RED… SO, BEWARE!! DOUBLE. CHECK. YOUR. VOTE. 😎🇺🇸✨

New in PN: The plot against Ukraine (and Europe) "Trump’s open effort to join nations like Iran & North Korea in aiding Putin’s murderous assault on Ukraine is nothing short of disastrous & will leave a lasting moral stain on the US. But there may be something of a silver lining to this dark cloud"

Susan Collins on Kavanaugh: "I'm very disappointed in his his vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. There was no way for me to anticipate that."

"Now that the Trump/Putin alliance has been indelibly formalized, denial is no longer a remotely reasonable option" — @davidrlurie.com

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

F you

“A comparable scenario would have been President Franklin Roosevelt siding with Hitler or Stalin in 1939. 'Mind-boggling that we have a president in this position'...” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I’m afraid he does 😟

This has been Putin's dream for years: That his country, with GDP per capita lower than Poland, unable to conquer Donbas since 2014, will be treated as an equal to the US and China. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Read about HSI Agent Richard Berger was the affiant for arrest affidavits against 24 fabricated case against Minnesotans. These are the people raiding Omar's house. emptywheel.net/2026/08/25/r...

Richard Berger is not the ONLY HSI agent to lie to frame Democrats. So did Ricky Patel, when kidnapping Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. So did Ryan Ribner FIRST when assaulting David Huerta, then spying some more on SEIU. emptywheel.net/2026/09/29/a...

In August, Trump purchased between $1m and $5m in SpaceX bonds. Two days later, he signed a memorandum setting out a new policy pledging US government support for space transportation companies: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Hassett: "Real relief on gas prices is coming virtually immediately" ("Virtually" is doing heavy lifting there!)

DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business on the September jobs report: "The numbers do not look good. I'm looking at 29,000 jobs added. That is well below expectations for 90,000, and our unemployment rate jumps up to 4.2%. A significant slowdown."

🚨 The last jobs report before the midterms is a disaster. Just 29,000 jobs added in September. Unemployment rose to 4.2%. July was revised down to a LOSS of 10,000 jobs, while August was revised down by 29,000 jobs, from 162,000 to 133,000. 1/

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.

Most swing state GOP Senate candidates took $$ from Jack Abramoff's now pardoned partner.

"Was Trump’s call for MAGA voters to cheat in the midterms another mere trigger-the-libs comment? Maybe. But this is the same Trump who in an infamous call in January 2, 2021, asked Brad Raffensberger to 'find' 11,780 votes — one more than his deficit to Joe Biden in the state’s popular vote."

www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...

WAPO is reporting that at least four more service members have died in the war in Iran than DOD is publicly acknowledging. CNN is reporting that the US almost seized a Chinese vessel because AI incorrectly identified it as containing Iranian nuclear material. Clown show.

Amazing. A Cuban dance instructor living in Russia recruits random people to carry out acts of arson and terror in Europe, on behalf of the Russian state www.dw.com/en/cuban-dan...

One nuance: Kremlev was personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his links to Putin. An organization he is associated with, 'Healthy Fatherland', is also sanctiond for helping abduct children from occupied Ukrainian territory and relocate them in Russia

The impact of the alternate reality bubbles which are fully entrenched on the right, even among those whose job it is to evaluate things from all sides, are not good!

Here’s what’s happened to food safety under Trump and RFK Jr.

If Ukraine would just surrender we could get on with making business deals

The whole #Trumpstein administration has to GO!

“.. With Saudi oil now blockaded, Americans are about to discover why maintaining stability in the Middle East and not handing it to a consortium of Russia and Iran was always important.” @jayinkyiv.bsky.social

Remember that Enrique Tarrio has recently invaded the North. His date even had to sneak across the open border.

"Marshall, a Republican seeking re-election this fall, filed lawsuits against more than 700 patients with outstanding bills ... Marshall's lawyers garnished patients’ paychecks and bank accounts. They routinely charged patients an 18% annual interest rate."
